Chile’s consumer price growth came to a standstill in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) registering 0.0%, according to data updated on 6 March 2026. This marks a clear cooling from January 2026, when prices rose 0.4% compared with December, underscoring a pause in short‑term inflationary pressures.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest reading shows that the price level in February did not increase relative to January, in contrast to the previous period, where the index had still been edging higher. While the data provided does not detail specific categories driving the shift, the flat reading suggests that earlier price momentum may be easing, a development that market participants and policymakers will be monitoring closely in the coming months.
